VIPHOSTPEMonitoring a VPS — From Simple Checks to Prometheus
Start simple
Uptime checks + resource alerts (CPU/RAM/disk). Email/Slack notifications for outages.
Go deeper
Prometheus node exporter + Grafana dashboards; track slow logs and error rates; set SLOs and alerting.
In practice
Use sensible thresholds; avoid alert fatigue; write incident playbooks.
